Mark's views on what's happening in the media.

The Fox Network has never been known for it’s inspirational reality TV. From The Swan to Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire, they’ve pushed the limits on tacky television. Now, here comes another Reality offering which, while described as “an inspirational dating competition”, may or may not be the next American TV Travesty. The premise we’ve heard a million times, boy meets girls, boy eliminates girls, boy ends up with one girl and the after the show is over, boy never talks to girl again. You know it. I know it. But we watch anyways. Of course this has not been screened so you’ll be just as surprised as I am if this truly turns out to be inspirational. Now if we want to guarantee some inspirational TV, let’s have Luke and the Winner all go on to The Biggest Loser next season. Anyhow, here is how Fox is pitching the show….

HUSKY HUNK LUKE CONLEY FINDS “MORE TO LOVE” THIS SUMMER

WITH 20 BEAUTIFUL, FULL-FIGURED WOMEN

New Inspirational Dating Competition Premieres Tuesday, July 28 on FOX

MORE TO LOVE, the new dating competition show from Mike Fleiss (“The Bachelor”), follows one regular guy’s search for love among a group of real women determined to prove that love comes in all shapes and sizes. The inspirational new series, hosted by iconic supermodel Emme, premieres Tuesday, July 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Luke Conley is a 26-year-old former college football offensive lineman who stands 6’3” and weighs over 300 pounds. He’s a successful sub-contractor and real estate investor who has his sights set on building a long-lasting relationship. Luke’s ideal woman is intelligent, passionate, down-to-earth, full-figured and comfortable in her own skin.

This eligible guy will have the chance to find the woman of his dreams when 20 voluptuous ladies vie for his heart. These unique women have careers ranging from waitress to teacher to lawyer to rocket scientist, but they all have one thing in common: They are also looking for love.

This brawny prince is searching for one curvy Cinderella to take on the romantic adventure of a lifetime. Throughout the course of his journey, Luke will wine and dine these women during romantic outings, where some will experience their first real dates. As Luke narrows the competition each week through emotional elimination ceremonies, he will be one step closer to finding the woman who is his perfect fit.
